Description of model
|
NIEIR Multipurpose model is an energy
modelling system comprised of: 1) macroeconomic and industry activity models for the
whole country and Australia's states; 2) an energy forecasting model (EFM); 3) an
energy technology model (ETM); 4) an energy environmental impact model (ENVI); and 5) an energy
production and pricing model.
The model is mainly used for: 1) analysing impact of removal of cross-subsidies in electricity
prices; 2) forecasting of electricity demand and load growth; 3) projecting of greenhouse
gas emissions; 4) evaluating alternative power station options; and 5) assessing the impact of
increased penetration of energy-efficient technologies and renewable energies on energy demand
and supply and greenhouse gas emissions.

|
Particular relevance
|
The NIEIR model is relevant in analysing the development and diffusion of carbon-neutral
technologies in Australian electricity generation. The model can also be used in
assessing the impacts of changes in subsidies and energy-efficiency rates.
